What are the traditional ingredients for Albanian cornstarch halva?

Answer 1

Eggs, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and vinegar are the traditional ingredients in Albania's mayonnaise.

Specifically, the following ingredients are combined in a bowl in the following order and beaten in only one (1) direction:

Egg yolks;

Lemon juice;

Vinegar;

Salt.

Olive oil then is added very slowly while the mixture continues to be beaten, constantly and in the same direction, until thickened. The mayonnaise needs to be maintained at a constantly cool temperature and can be served with seafood, salad and meat dishes.

Answer 2

Lemon juice and rind, liqueur wine, prunes, sugar and water are the traditional ingredients in Albania's prune compote.

Specifically, Prunes are washed, dried, and cut into halves. The stones are removed. They are added to boiling water to which sugar and then lemon juice previously have been added. The entire mixture simmers for two (2) minutes.

The dish is allowed to cool. It is stored in a cold place until chilled. It is served cold after liqueur wine has been stirred carefully in.

Answer 3

Butter, cornstarch, sugar and water are the traditional ingredients in Albania's cornstarch halva dessert.

Specifically, the word "halva" is a loan word in the Albanian language. It comes from the Arabic word that means "sweet." The dish so designated is indeed a popular sweet treat to all ages.

Sugar is stirred into water and brought to a boil. The mixture will continue to be cooked over high heat until a long thread may be spun with the thoroughly combined and heated ingredients.

Butter is melted separately. It will be used to sauté the cornstarch until the mixture turns yellow. At that point, sugar is mixed in carefully. The syrup from the other container then is stirred in with a wooden spoon until the entire mixture thickens.

The dessert is served in individual serving size dessert cups. It is a favorite dish that presents itself well hot or cold.
